Nancy O'Dell - The Host - Page 3

Carlylicious · 04-01-2003, 03:27 PM

Couldn't agree more with all of you regarding Nancy O'!

She brings some class to the program, but she's stiff as anything, yet tries too hard to be "cool" and flirty with the male contestants, and pals with the gals (ha!).

Also, my husband was commenting on how abnormally LONG her neck is! I have to agree with him on that one.

All in all, she is SO much better than that annoying guy on AI. And this SHOW is overall so much better than AI, there's no contest at all.

Hey, there's an idea...how about "American Idol meets Nashville Star"? They should have a sing-off! NS would kick AI's butt. It would be pretty funny!

She does have a really long neck. Maybe it's mounted on a periscope extender thingie.

I've never seen AI so I'm suddenly very frightened of its host if he's more annoying than Nancy! *shudder*

Hey a singoff would be fun!!

That would indeed be very interesting.

I too am liking Nashville star better than AI ... maybe it's because AI is starting to get old in some ways.

But yeah Nancy... I do think they could've picked a better host, she's annoying. I try to tune her out when she talks so I don't have to listen to her stupid questions and feel sorry for the contestants having to come up with and answer to them ... lol

I DO think she has a pretty stressful job as far as your average entertainment gig goes. Thinking quickly on your feet isn't everyone's cup of tea. That being said, I wish she'd just relax and not freak everyone out with her shrill nonsense questions.

Nancy seems to me to talk through her teeth without moving many other facial muscles. And that yelling is nerve wracking! The top she wore last Sat. night looked like it was going to slip off and show her boobs anytime. I wonder if she had duct tape holding them in place?

Tigrazhia · 04-18-2003, 07:20 PM

LOL probably! Maybe it was a way to keep viewers from running away from the TV every time she's talking....

I agree she has a stressful job to think quickly on her feet etc, but that's what she does though... if she wasn't comfortable with it, she should find another area :-)

It's funny but I was watching the beginning of "All American Girl" last night (Couldn't sit through the whole thing :boredball

)
but it struck me that the host of the show would fit better in Nashville Star whereas Nancy should be with the All American girls...

Am I the only person here who cannot stand the sound of Nancy O'Dell's voice? It is grating and horrible.

Whenever I hear her on Access Hollywood I want to run from the room screaming. I turn the channel instead. Pat O'Brien is bad enough with his droning nasality but Nancy gives the phrase "torture by voice" real meaning.

Zhora · 04-18-2003, 08:53 PM

I'm getting pretty good at ignoring her very existence.

Bill · 04-18-2003, 09:09 PM

But you know, aside from all of these valid complaints, she is really a wonderful host...

Tigrazhia · 04-18-2003, 10:18 PM

lol bill :-)

Well if a good host means she can read the cards she's handed without stuttering, then yeah ok... she's doing a good job.

Her voice bugs the heck out of me too, but like Zhora, I kinda "zone out" whenever its her time to talk and just wait for the next contestant....

(good thing I can just go online afterwards to vote cause I'd be hard pressed to listen to her closely enough to remember the contestant numbers...maybe that's why brandi & brandon keep getting votes, people tune out when Nancy talks & forgets the right numbers? :-)
